Thanks Jim for reminding us how civility, diversity and discourse really must walk (or ride) together if we are all to move forward. Here's a fine post I came across a few weeks back on 'How not to be offended '. Cheers, John On Saturday, January 6, 2018 at 8:52:37 AM

Thank you, Jim, for driving the bus! I spoke a bit sharpishly recently on a thread or two, and I'm sorry. I value each lister, and truly enjoy your company. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Saturday, January 6, 2018 at 8:52:37 AM UTC-8, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: > > The tenets of this group have not

Thank you Jim. I am new to the list and really value the time I spend here. It’s a wonderful group and place to be, along with a distraction from world events. I hope everyone continues to contribute and forgives the occasional cranky responses. Thank you as well to Grant and co (John at Rivelo

Boy, was that nice to read- I didn't totally follow the posts that led up to it, but I sure do appreciate the sentiment and the articulation. Also, as someone mentioned, I appreciate the work that Jim does so that I can read about bikes, and others can read about and discuss bikes. I feel

[RBW] Re: Crankypants & Thoughtful Responses

Seriously all that John and everybody has said. Jim means the world to me, I have more respect for him than I can ever utter, and I know most of us here feel some kind of version of that. He can write me under a tractor, every sentence, things that I'd stew over and ultimately screw up with

Jim: Thanks for all your efforts. Even though you probably only hear that infrequently, we truly value your efforts. "There's not a thing so time-dependent on this group" If one is in a hurry, there are faster vehicles than a bicycle. Similarly, if one participates in a bike forum,

[RBW] Re: Crankypants & Thoughtful Responses

*Many thanks to Jim Edgar!* As I believe I mentioned here once before: When this group was first started by Rivendell, Grant and I tried to moderate it, but we fairly quickly figured out that it was not only too time-consuming to do it well, but that it was also putting us in the difficult
